Lawn finished the regular season on top of the ladder, and has earned a week off next week after defeating Drung South at home in their semi-final clash.
The two sides traded set wins for much of the day.
After the first seven sets, Drung South held a narrow 4-3 advantage against Lawn.
However, after that Lawn turned it up a notch, showing why the side finished the regular season on top of the ladder.
Lawn won eight sets in a row to put the result beyond doubt and move directly to the grand final on March 24.
That eight-set winning run set up a brilliant win for Lawn, as they won the encounter 11-82 to 5-61.
The other semi-final read a very similar scoreline, with Natimuk winning 11 sets to defeat Laharum.
Natimuk was the better team all year and finished the regular season on 40 points compared to Laharum’s 28 points.
The match started off evenly, with the scoreline reading four sets apiece after the first eight sets.
However, Natimuk asserted its authority on the contest from that point on.
Natimuk won seven of the last eight sets to progress through to a preliminary final and end Laharum’s season. The final scoreline read 11-84 to 5-43 in Natimuk’s favour.
Natimuk will now come up against Drung South on Saturday, for a chance to feature in the B Special grand final against Horsham Lawn.
